War in the East PBEM turno 15 e 16

Ecco i video degli ultimi due turni fatti con WITE; il mio avversario ha circondato molte delle mie truppe sul fronte del Caucaso ma sono riuscito a ricostruire in fronte e sto attuando una difesa flessibile a scacchiera, complice anche la sua difficoltà di approvvigionamento a sud. Nel frattempo sto iniziando a costruire corpi di fanteria e lanciando offensive secondarie su altri fronti in modo da costringerlo a chiamare truppe qui.

Gary Grigsby's War in the East PBEM parte 14

14ma parte della mia partita a WITE; siamo ad Aprile e quindi abbiamo un turno di fango e uno di bel tempo. Il mio avversario sembra voler sfondare nel Caucaso e apparentemente ci sta riuscendo bene, ma non ha tenuto conto delle mie riserve e mentre lui si disperde in un'area priva di strade, io mi concentro per colpirlo.

http://matrixgames.com/products/372/downloads/

ecco il change log:

V1.06.27 – March 11, 2013

• New Features and Rule Changes

1. Production Change – Size 0 factories will now expand if they are past their start date.
2. Formula Change – Adjusted the way staging bases are selected for providing ground support aircraft to ground battles.
3. Editor – Improved the Upgrade all OB function. This function should be used only at the beginning of building a scenario (once the unit list has been created), as it often requires units to be rebuilt.
4. AI Improvement – Made a small improvement in how the AI builds lines in small scenarios.
5. PBEM - A possible exploit in PBEM games was identified and removed from the game. We suggest players use the latest version when playing PBEM.

• Bug Fixes

1. Fixed a bug causing the end game screen not to appear properly in small scenarios.
2. Fixed a bug where destroyed German units that were rebuilt were coming back with 10 less morale than they should have.
3. Fixed a bug where the CSV export could get corrupted if a name field is at the maximum value of 40 characters.

Data and Scenario Changes

1. Red Army Resurgent 42-43 Scenario - Corrected the starting MPs of the 1st Gds Mech Corps by setting it to 0 as the unit is frozen at the start.

V1.06.25 – December 28, 2012

• New Features and Rule Changes

1. Rule Change – Frozen support units are now reset during the logistics phase so they are not frozen. The intention is that support units should not be frozen.
2. Rule Change – Soviet factories no longer rise to their build limit on the turn they become active. Axis were already not rising starting with version 1.06.22. Both Soviet and Axis factories will not increase in size before their start date.

• Bug Fixes

1. Fixed a bug where Unready/depleted support units were not filtered correctly in the CR screen.
2. Fixed a bug in the data table for the support needs of certain ground element types. Heavy AT Guns now require 10 support (instead of 0), Light AT Guns require 2 support (instead of 0) and Heavy Infantry Guns require 12 support (instead of 1). These numbers are the amount of support required by 10 elements of the given type of ground element.
3. Fixed a bug where in some cases, mouse clicks on certain areas of the CR screen were not being recognized.
4. Fixed a bug where the number of available support units was not always displayed correctly (when assigning/forming support units).
5. Fixed a rare crash bug caused by using the Prev TOE(OB) option in the TOE window.
6. Fixed a bug that could cause prevent fighters from flying escort for air transport missions.
7. Fixed a bug causing the Demjansk scenario, and possibly other very small scenarios to end prematurely.

• Data and Scenario Changes

1. Made minor corrections in the wrob.dat and wrdevice.dat files to improve the flow of production into units.


V1.06.23 – December 16, 2012

• New Features and Rule Changes

1. Rule Change - Generic factories (ARM, HI, etc) with a non zero build limit and with factory size above it were being reduced to the build limit starting with version 1.06.22. Now, these factories are not affected by the reduction rule added in 1.06.22.
2. Formula Change – Adjusted Dive bombers accuracy when bombing cities.
3. Formula Change - Adjusted night bombing accuracy.
4. Formula Change - Adjusted city bombing routine.

• Bug Fixes

1. Fixed a bug where aircraft factories above the build limit were not being reduced to the build limit as intended by the changes in 1.06.22.
2. Fixed a bug where Soviet numbered air armies could get renamed.


V1.06.22 – November 29, 2012

• New Features and Rule Changes

1. New Rule – Air transport missions may only be flown by air groups that are located on airbases within 5 MPs of a supply source (rail net).
2. New Rule – Factories that are moved may not be moved again for twenty turns. The turn when it will be able to move again is shown on the city display when in rail transfer mode.
3. New Rule – Heavy Tank Brigades may not be used to form Soviet Corps.
4. Changes to Production Formulas
a) Axis factories no longer rise to their build limit on the turn they become active.
b) Factories with a size of 0 that have an expansion rate greater than 0 will no longer receive damage of 1 when they reach their availability date.
c) Factories that are set to values larger than their build limit will be set to their build limit during the next production cycle.
5. Changes to Equipment Scrapping, Swapping and Upgrading Formulas
a) Scrapping of ground equipment now begins exactly 12 months after the last month/year availability date, instead of at the start of the next calendar year after the last year of availability.
b) AFVs are no longer scrapped if they are being used by any units in the game.
c) Ground elements below 10 in the pool can be scrapped at a rate of 1 per turn so the pool will eventually be emptied.
d) Modified ground element and aircraft swapping to give priority to newer equipment.
e) Increased the chance to swap aircraft. Depleted groups still have a higher chance to swap.
f) Captured equipment will no longer upgrade to other captured equipment using the upgrade routines. They may swap out the captured equipment for other captured or normal equipment.
6. Changes to Combat Formulas
a) Reduced the fire of artillery elements during bombardment (2-hex) combat (primarily reduced the fire of defending artillery).
b) Defensive fire will be reduced to conserve ammunition if the attacker is relatively very small (roughly less than half the size of the defender).
c) If an artillery element is firing with its non-main gun devices only, 1/10 of the standard ammunition is used.
d) Removed very large ammo usage spikes by artillery ground elements in battle.
7. New Feature – Added event log messages when air groups withdraw.
8. Code Optimization – Optimized support unit assignment interface code.


• Bug Fixes

1. Fixed a bug where air groups that flew missions to the same hex that their airbase was located in were not being charged miles flown. Now a nominal amount of miles flown is charged to the air group. This will prevent heavy bombers from being able to fly repeated air transport missions in the same turn when flying to their same hex.
2. Fixed a bug that was preventing support units from receiving supplies when attached to units involved in a HQ buildup. This bug was causing the support units to lose morale and gain fatigue.
3. Fixed a bug that was causing partisan units to erroneously lose morale.
4. Fixed a bug in the editor where clicking on a location ID performed an unintended delete of the location.
5. Fixed a bug that was causing mountain units to pay 4 MP’s when moving through a mountain pass instead of the intended 3 MPs (since mountain units pay 3 MPs for any mountain hex).
6. Fixed a bug that made changing the HQ attachment of a broken down Soviet corps cost less APs than it should have. As of version 1.05.53 it should have followed these rules: When a broken down unit from a Soviet Corps of any kind changes its HQ attachment, all broken down units that are a part of that Corps will also change their HQ attachment. The cost for this change in HQ will be equal to the cost of changing the Corps.
7. Fixed a bug where an artillery unit attacking across an impassable river hexside could end up with negative movement points.
8. Fixed a bug that prevented the Soviet player from building new regular Mortar Brigades and Tank Brigades at times during 1944/45.
9. Fixed a bug in the AI where it could warp a unit into an overstack situation inside a pocket.
10. Fixed a bug where the game could freeze when all Soviet supply centers were captured. The game will now end if all supply centers of one side are captured.
11. Fixed two bugs with partisan units. In the first bug the partisan unit could end up with MPs, in the second it could end up stacked with an enemy unit.
12. Fixed a bug that prevented support units from getting ground element upgrades.
13. Fixed a bug preventing units attached to a city from upgrading/swapping ground elements.
14. Fixed a bug preventing artillery support units directly attached to a unit defending in a bombardment combat from being able to commit to the battle.

• Data and Scenario Changes

An update was made to the campaign scenario files and OB and Device data files. Going along with this data update, several programming changes were made to improve production. The logic behind the changes and the changes themselves are detailed below.
Developer’s Notes by Jim Wirth: The primary focus of this data update was to correct Axis production for errors and omissions resulting from scenario changes and developments introduced after production was originally setup as well as from missing or erroneous data. In addition a few changes were made to some of the German armor ratings not resulting from new information but rather due to either applying a more consistent methodology to calculating the values or incorporating data previously ignored, such as the pre-Barbarossa armor upgrade of the Panzer IIc. In some cases to get game production as close to historical as possible Production Start and End Dates were shifted a month or two in either direction. Finally to compensate as much as possible for the effect of using the production period for the service life when determining if a particular ground element (primarily AFVs) is subject to scrapping, the Production End Date was extended to the first month of a subsequent year. For example, the Panzer Ib which actually went out of production in June, 1937 has a Production End Date of January, 1941. Panzer Ibs will now not start being scrapped until 1942. Unfortunately this work-a-round can only be used for elements either not in production before June, 1941 or which upgrade in the course of the game. The one area of Axis production which was not changed was factory locations. It was the decision of the design and development team to defer those changes to subsequent games in the series.
Detailed changes to the Axis AFVs are as follows:

1. Panzer Ib (0001) – Production End Date changed from 6/37 to 1/41.
2. Panzer IIc (0002) – Frontal Armor increased by 15 (Note: All Panzer IIcs had additional armor added prior to Barbarossa); Production End Date changed from 4/40 to 1/42.
3. Panzer IIf (0003) – Initial Factory Size decreased by 2; Build Limit decreased by 2. Production End Date changed from 12/42 to 2/43.
4. Panzer IIL (0004) – Build Limit reduced by 1.
5. Flammpanzer II (0005) – Production End Date changed from 3/42 to 1/42.
6. Panzer IIIe (0006) – Production End Date changed from 7/40 to 1/41.
7. Panzer IIIj L/60 (0009) – Build Limit increased by 2.
8. Panzer IIIm (0010) – Build Limit decreased by 1.
9. Panzer IIIn (0011) – Build Limit decreased by 1.
10. Flammpanzer III (0012) – Build Limit increased by 10.
11. Panzer 35(t) (0013) – Production End Date changed from 12/38 to 1/41.
12. Panzer 38(t) (0014) – Production End Date changed from 10/40 to 1/41.
13. Panzer 38(t)E (0015) – Side Armor decreased by 4; Build Limit increased by 4; Expansion Rate increased by 1.

18. Tiger (0025) – Production Start Date changed from 7/42 to 8/42; Production End Date changed from 12/44 to 8/44; Build Limit increased by 1.
19. King Tiger (0026) – Frontal Armor increased by 5; Production Start Date changed from 1/44 to 2/44.
20. Brummbar (0027) – Name changed to Sturmpanzer IV; Reliability Rating changed from 25 to 30.
21. Stug IIIb (0028) – Build Limit decreased by 2.
22. StuH42 (0029) – Production Start Date changed from 10/42 to 12/42; Production End Date changed from 2/45 to 9/45. (Note: Rate of production based on historical.)
23. Stug IIIf (0030) – Frontal Armor decreased by 23; Production End Date changed from 11/42 to 5/42; Build Limit decreased by 4. (Note: See Note to Stug IIIg.)
24. Stug IIIg (0031) – Bow (actually coaxial) Machinegun removed; Frontal Armor increased by 7; Production Start Date changed from 12/42 to 6/42; Ammo Use decreased by 18; Build Cost deceased by 2; Build Limit decreased by 2; Expansion Rate increased by 1. (Note: Historically half the Stug IIIfs did not received an armor upgrade and all of these were armed with the 75mm L/43 gun. The remainder of Stug IIIfs and all Stug IIIf/8s had the additional armor and 31 of the Stug IIIfs and all of the Stug IIIf/8s had the 75mm L/48 gun. Previously in the game the Stug IIIfs and the Stug IIIf/8s were combined and all had the additional armor and the 75mm L/43 gun. Historically only some (amount unknown) late production Stug IIIgs had the coaxial machinegun, the only feature that in game terms distinguished them from the Stug IIIfs/f8s with additional armor and the 75mm L/48 gun. By removing the coaxial machinegun from the Stug IIIg its production could be combined with that of the late model Stug IIIf and Stug IIIf/8 resulting in game production within 2% of historical.)

Video 5 con PBEM di War in the East

Siamo arrivati al fango, dalla seconda settimana di novembre comincia il gelo e dalla prima di dicembre il blizzard. Teoricamente il mio avversario dovrebbe approfittare del fango per rinsaldare le sue truppe corazzate, invece le sta tenendo in prima linea. Non sono sicuro se cercare il colpo grosso nella due settimane di novembre in cui potrà ancora muovere, ma dovrebbe invece cercare di fortificarsi per evitare il più possibile gli effetti del blizzard.

Quarto video con War in the East PBEM

Ecco il quarto video fatto con War in the East durante la mia partita PBEM. Mancano tre turni al fango, spero di difendere più terreno possibile, anche a costo di sacrificare unità su unità in attacchi sul retro delle truppe nemiche. Devo cercare di evacuare più industrie possibili soprattutto dal Donbas.

Terzo video con War in the East PBEM

Ecco qui il terzo video del mio PBEM a War in the East. Pressione tedesca lenta ma costante, continuo ad evacuare le fabbriche e a mandare truppe al massacro.

Video di gameplay del mio PBEM con War in the East

Ecco i primi turni del mio PBEM con War in the East, io sono il sovietico. Il mio avversario è bravino ma non come il precedente che mi ha davvero distrutto. Comunque i turni fino a Novembre sono tanti, può ancora farmi molto male.

War in the East review

Su la Gazette du Wargamer trovate una recensione per Gary Grigsby's War in The East: http://www.wargamer.fr/gary-grigsbys-war-in-the-east-le-mille-feuille-operationnel/

From the Don to Dnepr di Glantz

Torno a parlare di un altro dei libri presi prima delle ferie: From the Don to the Dnepr: Soviet Offensive Operations, December 1942-August 1943 di Glantz. Si tratta di uno dei primi lavori di Glantz (ha  una ventina di anni) ma è comunque ancora un'opera notevole. Illustre le operazioni offensive sovietiche dal Dicembre 1942 all'Agosto del 1943 nel bacino del Donbas, quindi si parla dell'operazione Piccolo Saturno,Gallop, Star e infine dell'operazione Polkovodets Rumyantsev. Descrizioni dettagliate dell'azione delle truppe sovietiche e tedesche e dell'evoluzione delle procedure operative sovietiche, l'unica pecca è che cartine sono difficili da leggere perchè appuntate a mano e scansite. Probabilmente alcune azioni tattiche avrebbero meritato qualche linea in più, ma lo scopo era mostrare l'azione operativa e motivi di spazio sicuramente hanno limitato i dettagli tattici.

Il testo può essere accompagnato con il più recente After Stalingrad: The Red Army's Winter Offensive, 1942-1943 sempre di Glantz.

A livello di giochi l'ambientazione può essere riprodotta con Gary Grigsby's War in East, in parte con Decisive Campaigns Case Blue e infine come parte tattica con Achtung Panzer Operation Star, che appunto in alcune delle sue campagne copre appunto l'operazione Star nei dintorni di Kharkov e probabilmente in futuro anche l'operazione Polkovodets Rumyantsev nella stessa area.

Secondo pdf con AAR mio PBEM a War in the East

Ecco il secondo pdf del mio PBEM a War in the East; il file copre la campagna invernale 1941/1942 con i Sovietici all'attacco.

Immagini di War in the West

Come molti sapranno War in the East sarà seguito da War in the West 1943-1945, che appunto avrà come scenari la guerra ad ovest dal 43 al 45 con Francia e Italia come campi di battaglia. Ci sarà anche un sistema migliorato di guerra aerea e più rilevanza nel navale. A questo gioco seguiranno gli scenari della guerra nel Mediterraneo 41-43 e quello del 1940. Infine probabilmente ci sarà un mega gioco che raggrupperà l'intera guerra in Europa.

Ecco alcune immagini di WITW
